A welcome reissue in a new print of one of the lesser-known French new wave gems.
Made in 1964, its director François Truffaut described this Hitchcockian tale of adultery triggering a crime passionnel as “a violent answer to Jules Et Jim,” his previous film about a love triangle.
Here, Jean Desailly plays Lachenay, a middle-aged Parisian writer who’s married to Franca (Nelly Benedetti), but who has an affair with air stewardess Nicole (Françoise Dorleac).
